Many plant lovers have started to favor succulent old stakes. So, what kind of soil should be used for succulent old stakes? Is it enough to use the same soil as other stages of succulents, or do particular plant lovers use different soils for sowing, seedling stage, medium-large seedlings, and old stakes? The following picture shows the approximate state after mixing according to the following proportions:
Currently, the principle of soil mixing for old stakes on the market is: less matrix, more particles, larger particles. My suggestion is: use less peat, add an appropriate amount of pine bark, and still add some vermiculite to promote vigorous root growth.
You can mix it like this: a 1:1 mixture of Da Han 422 peat and coconut bran accounts for 10% + 5% vermiculite + 5% rice husk charcoal, with the rest being 3-6mm, or even 4-8mm particles. The particles include: coal slag, volcanic rock, pumice, green zeolite, akadama soil, and鹿沼土 (鹿沼 soil), etc. The soil I mix still includes fertilizer, a small amount of Ogreen A2, which has very little nitrogen fertilizer and high potassium fertilizer, preventing the succulents from growing excessively.
Pine bark is a good thing; you can add some small particles of pine bark. Insect repellent small purple medicine and fungicides to prevent root rot should also be added. It would be a pity to let a carefully cultivated old stake be destroyed by insects or bacteria!
(Some people might question: Your mixture for the old stake soil has a matrix of up to 20%, is that okay? Answer: Yes! It must be! Old stakes are also succulents! Old stakes also need their roots to attach to the matrix to absorb nutrients! With pure particles, the succulent roots won't even have an attachment point!
If the particles are larger, it will be in the following state, which is similar to that 'Qian Mo' soil on the internet. I don't know how that name came about, but actually, its ingredients are very simple.
